| - Tuvalu sells bulk Just Coffee beans and for this fact alone I'm a regular here. This place has an excellent vibe to it like any great coffeehouse should. I generally don't have time to get my coffee to stay, so I've not really had the chance to spend some time relaxing at a table or out on the porch - too bad on my part. My usual routine is to walk in, grab a couple pounds of bulk beans, then fill up my traveler and get my punchcard stamped and pay. On a good day I'm in and out within ten minutes. In addition to coffee and bulk beans there's a small pastry case that has pre-wrapped items that can be either prepared there or taken with. The breakfast burritos are pretty good, but my favorite is the spinach-stuffed croissant. In addition to the usual coffee card (buy 10 get 1) they offer a bulk card - buy 5 lbs. and get a half pound free.
Parking can sometimes be a bit of a concern - yesterday I ended up circling the block searching for a spot. It's located just up from Miller's and there aren't a ton of parking stalls in the lot, but during the summer the bike racks seem to be always full so keep that in mind if you're local. Given the fact there was no parking I shouldn't have been surprised to see a long line of customers upon entering. I don't generally order special coffee drinks but I do believe the baristas at Tuvalu may not be the quickest at turning around orders. This doesn't usually concern me, but I did get stuck in line for the better part of fifteen minutes yesterday.
Aside from the coffee-related offerings I've found a good number of last-minute gifts at Tuvalu. They've got a decent assortment of glass and pottery items crafted by local and international artists. I've gotten a few really great presents just on a whim, including a set of hand-blown glass coasters and a tea set. There's always FTO chocolate bars as well, just waiting for an impulse buy. I also get pure Wisconsin maple syrup from Cazenovia, which even comes in a mapleleaf-shaped bottle - it's one of my father's favorite things and tastes especially good on buckwheat pancakes. I've never gone here for lunch as I'm usually passing through Verona on my way down to my parents' place, but the sandwich specials advertised on the board by the counter have always looked pretty good. Some day I'm sure I'll find out for certain, but until then I'll keep coming back for the excellent coffee.
